The late Kurt Cobain of Nirvana was once quoted as saying, "I just rip of the Pixies". Now if that doesn't say it all I don't know what does. The Pixies are still the most influential alt-rock band of all time. With the likes of Queen of the Stoneage stealing riffs and melodies proves that Frank Black and his band are still influencing the current crop of bands year by year. Placebo even covered "Where is my mind", the firm fans favourite song off this album. There are 3 or 4 songs on this album that the likes of John Lennon would have been proud of. If you buy this album be prepared to buy all the Pixies albums as this is a band that will take over you life and airspace for the rest of your life. Say no more!
